Whats being said:
Tampa has all but started printing Winston jerseys. They are making it clear (too clear) that they want the embattled Florida QB. I think there is about a 60% chance he lands there, and for me, 60% is pretty good. My reservations revolve around Lovie Smith wanting to hitch his wagon to that horse. He doesn't seem like a Lovie guy. I could easily see them trading out, going with Mike Glennon at QB and stockpiling draft picks to rebuild that horrid O-line.
The Titans have said publicly that if Mariota is there with the 2nd overall pick he will be their starter week 1. WOW. Could that be anymore ridiculous. They are obviously bating teams who are QB thirsty to give up their next couple of drafts to move up for this guy. The Titans taking Mariota with the 2nd pick is as far from reality as me fucking Eva Mendez.
The Eagles are saying that Bradford is the second coming of Peyton Manning. LMFAO!!!! They traded for this guy to try and use him as bait to move up in the top 10 to snag Mariota. If he is their starter week 1 then I can officially label Kelly as a moron. The Eagles leaked that the Browns offered them their #1 pick (I don't know which one) for Bradford the day after the trade. When have you EVER heard of an NFL team discussing trades that didn't happen??? It's all about inflating this guys value. I think that's why they gave up more than the Rams in the trade. The Jets better not fall for this garbage.
The Bears and Chargers are saying their overpaid QB's are not on the block. Seriously???? Both of these guys collected gargantuan pay checks in 2014, they both were relatively healthy, and neither led their teams to the playoffs. Rivers has said publicly that he's not interested in signing an extension. WHY would either one of these teams not ship those guys out of town on the next bus if they could get any decent value in return??? You know who's not on the fucking trade block???? Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Andrew Luck, Calvin Johnson, Demarius Thomas, JJ Watt, Russell Wilson and Darrell Revis. That's it.... 8 guys.. and Thomas is a stretch. Everyone else is up for grabs.... for the right price. Trust me.
This could possibly be the most exciting first round of any NFL draft in history. You may see a guy like Mariota slip deep into the first, or a team may mortgage their future moving up for him. I see at least 4 trades in the first round, and as many as 8. I also think at least one Superstar QB gets moved during that prime time event.
My dream would be any QB besides Geno or Fitz being our week 1 starter, but more specifically Rivers landing here would make us a legitimate playoff contender. He has 2-3 more good years left. He's spent his whole career in a small media market, and finishing up in NY (where he was technically drafted originally) would be perfect for him to get the recognition he deserves. What a great way to give a big F U to the Giants for drafting and trading him.
I wouldn't want to lose our #6 overall. We need a game changer with that pick. If we land Rivers... (I'd give up next years 2nd round pick conditionally... if he's still on our roster in 2016 The Bolts get our 2nd, if not it's our 3rd.) then I take Shane Ray with our first pick, then offense the rest of the way. Dorsett in the 2nd, Duke Johnson in the 3rd, Nick O'Leary in the 4th/ late 3rd (might have to move up). I'd also consider Jake Long at LT (if he's healthy) and move D'Brick to RT.
These smoke screens are pathetic, but tis' the season. In 5 short weeks the 2015 season will come into focus.
